Each tribute coin features the official U.S. Military Branch of Service seal,
and is a legal-tender U.S. Silver Dollar. To own one of these coins is to take
part in a legacy that dates back to the first Silver Dollars struck by our
Founding Fathers. It is their principles that continue to drive our nation, and
our military, towards a brighter future.

the U.S. Mint in one ounce of 99.9% pure American silver.
